Written
I’m not good with directions
If they’re not in written form.
My brain cannot retain them;
I don’t know if that’s the norm.
So whether it’s instructions
For a project or a meal
Or a way to get from here to there
By train or at the wheel…
Or the steps involved to tie a knot
Or scarf around the neck,
My attempts to follow explanations
Just make me a wreck.
Yet, when there’s an outline listed
On a paper I can read,
I at least will understand the ways
In which I can proceed.
I once read, it’s either left or right,
The way our brains are wired,
But whichever way is mine, I know
The written word’s required.
